Marvel should start exploring some horror properties. These films could be produced for very modest budgets: $5 - 15 million. They can hire unknowns or known folks whose careers have cooled down in recent years; character actors, that sort of thing.

Some original concepts can be developed, but standing properties would include Man-Thing, Zombie, Werewolf, Satana, etc.

Ghost Rider, Blade and Morbius would be superb horror titles for Marvel to explore, GR especially needs a good movie to show people the potential of the character. In the comics he is one of, if not THE most powerful super-hero in the MU.

^I'm not sure, I know he was in a deleted scene in Blade 1, and Marvel now have the rights back to Blade. But I also remember some talk that Nomak in Blade 2 was meant to be Morbius, but they couldnt use him as he was with the Spidey rights.

I cant see a Spiderman movie ever using him though so it seems pointless if they do have the rights to Morbius.

Hulk would be great to see as a horror movie. That was one of the things I liked about Ang's movie, it had some horror tropes like Bruce as the boogey-man in Betty's dream. But as you say, it'll never happen.

Ghost Rider or Blade would be the best characters to launch Marvel horror though.
